HOF Grading results thread.

Swampboy · April 23, 2014 10:21AM

Well I've been eyeing the pops to see how the grades are coming in for the HOF coins. There are some informative results getting posted in Goldbully's HOF thread but what I'm interested in seeing is how my forum friends are making out.

Feel free to post your results while I anxiously anticipate mine (rec'd 4/14 at PCGS).

Kudbegud · April 23, 2014 10:30AM

Mine were also received on 4/14, 9:40am, at PCGS. Status was "OK" yesterday. Checking just now shows trouble displaying orders. These and order history is not visible. Will check later.

Goldbully · April 23, 2014 12:32PM

I got the same receive date 4/14/14.....time will tell.

CoinMaster1229 · April 23, 2014 12:42PM

Mine received 4/10 no results so far!

AnkurJ · April 23, 2014 1:18PM

Mine are scheduled for 6/21

JCMhouston · April 23, 2014 1:35PM

I would expect everyone will have 69's and 70's. Isn't that about all they make these days?

Bullsitter · April 23, 2014 4:28PM

We know they'll be 69s or 70s. We want to know how many 70s............

giantsfan20 · April 23, 2014 6:12PM

Would be interested to see photos of what exactly the difference between 69 and 70 actually are

or 68 for that matter

BackroadJunkie · April 23, 2014 6:56PM

(Already posted this in the HOF thread...)

Had mine done ATS. I wasn't sure I was going to even send them in until I inspected the sliver/clad. The gold unc came the next day, and they went out that afternoon. Sure do wish I had ordered the gold proof with this order...

Backyard Junkie

Congratulations! You hit a lot of grand slams!

USFCPA · April 24, 2014 2:25AM

Mine were also received by PCGS 4/14. No results yet.

I read in another thread were someone called PCGS and was told the current waiting period for HOF FS is 21 business days.

Good luck everyone!

Kudbegud · April 25, 2014 3:02PM

9 of 15 made 70...nice percentage

CoinMaster1229 · April 25, 2014 3:21PM

Yes, very happy with results. When I receive them, I will sell off enough
to recover costs. Then save some for my collection! Looking over E-bay
not to many gold PCGS FS have sold or are for sale. I will most likely
list one of the 70's in an action for a week just to see were it goes?

Kudbegud · April 25, 2014 3:40PM

The reason not too many FS's are on Ebay is because you are one of the first to get your grades back. Wait 2 weeks and you will see plenty. So you could score by listing before the flood.

BLUEJAYWAY · April 25, 2014 3:58PM

<< Would be interested to see photos of what exactly the difference between 69 and 70 actually are

or 68 for that matter >>

I do not own any graded coins as yet, but I would like to see 3 like coins, a 68,69, and a 70 graded coin (of any coin type) side by side in a photo denoting by arrows, the various differences between the 3 levels of those respective grades. I asume the 70 would be flawless, but what would seperate it from the 69 grade? Anyone care to indulge this novice in this request?

Kudbegud · April 25, 2014 4:06PM

This would make a super photo grading book of actual slabbed coins from 70 to low 60's. I once suggested that for an extra fee a grading diagram like is done for diamonds and gems showing the flaws that determined the grade. It was shot down roundly here. I still think it is a good idea.

CoinMaster1229 · April 25, 2014 4:08PM

I have looked at them side by side in the past and I can`t tell why the one
graded 69 did not get 70.. but I can tell why the 68 got a 68...

Kudbegud · April 25, 2014 4:53PM

A flaw plot just like diamonds would satisfy all questions of why

pcunix · April 25, 2014 10:02PM

Although I logged in just before noon on the 27th, I got thrown into the waiting room and was not able to place my order until 01:18. The clads I ordered came a few weeks back, the silver just this week, so those are now in a box somewhere between me an PCGS. I was in such a hurry to get them out I barely even glanced at the silvers!

As to the gold, my order still says "in process" and "3 units backordered. Expected to ship on 06/21/2014". I have no reason whatsoever to believe that, of course. I've heard from other people who had similar dates and their gold shipped this week, so who knows?

I would have liked to have the gold in time for that oh so meaningful "First Strike" label, but that window is closing fast. I'm thinking that non-numismatic folks are going to get confused by "First Pitch" and "First Strike" and thereby keep the First Strike prices higher at least for a while.

On the other hand, why do I care? After they come back from PCGS, these are going to have a long nap in a little steel box and may not see daylight again until my children inherit them. By then, First Strike could be as unimportant as First Spouse.

CoinMaster1229 · April 28, 2014 1:33AM

I received my gold HOF Submission back from PCGS today. The new slabs were delivered in the standard
blue PCGS boxes, but they will not fit in the slots. So PCGS shippers turned them side ways in the box
for shipping. I wonder if they will be coming out with new boxes in the future?

AnkurJ · April 28, 2014 1:50AM

Are these still worth getting graded with how many are flooding the market?

CoinMaster1229 · April 28, 2014 2:05AM

<< Are these still worth getting graded with how many are flooding the market? >>

I think so!

Jeffery · April 28, 2014 5:02AM

I have observed the (ebay) prices on non-graded silver coins has continued to increase. I would expect the prices to reach some equilibrium between the number of sellers & buyers over the next few months. Over the short term I would not be surprised to see prices actually go down. (As many more sellers enter the market whenever the mint ships the balance of the 400,000 silver coins.)
Eventually the supply of coins will diminish due to the finite supply, then I would expect the prices to increase. I don't have enough experience to predict when this might happen, but based on initial demand & a limited supply I expect this will eventually happen.
Since it looks like the VAST majority of silver coins will not be shipped until after the FS cutoff date then I would think the graded coins will experience a similar price fluctuation. If I had some coins that I intended to sell then I would definitely send them in.

(NOTE: I am a newb to coins & might be way of base with my observations.)

HonoluluDude · April 28, 2014 6:06AM

Noticing the raw $5 golds are steadily creeping up on ebay too. Now in the $825-$850 range.

Is that sustainable or is it just because majority of the gold orders haven't been shipped yet?

Swampboy · April 28, 2014 10:19AM

Good question.
I was wondering how they would fit in either my blue, green or silver boxes.

USFCPA · April 30, 2014 3:29AM

I just got my grades today (4/14/14 PCGS received date) on one proof and one uncirculated silver dollar:

PR70DCAM FS
MS68 FS

Not bad, and it looks like I have the only MS68 FS, so far

wow unbelievable a proof just hammered for BIN $959... they were going for around $800 just a week or so ago.

I know this coin has been mentioned in Sports Illustrated a couple of times, so maybe the non coin collectors who are baseball diehards want this badly.

HATTRICK · April 30, 2014 5:14AM

I like to analize things so I looked at the ebay auctions over $ 900 yesterday and today and almost

all of them have the same person as the high bidder. Could be someone be buying them up for somebody

or somebody going long on a hunch.

HATTRICK · April 30, 2014 5:23AM

just checked again and bidding is getting heated up. three auctions ending later today already up to $900 - $ 950

will this taper off or pust the PR70's higher ? lot of PCGS coins being graded right now from what I hear.

HonoluluDude · April 30, 2014 5:29AM

<< just checked again and bidding is getting heated up. three auctions ending later today already up to $900 - $ 950
>>

maybe today we will see a walk off home run over the magical $1000 barrier.

Swampboy · April 30, 2014 6:52AM

A couple 70's on the gold would have been cool.
Overall this whole caper has been fun but it appears my Proof HOF Registry Set will be a little lopsided.

derryb · April 30, 2014 6:58AM

Mine was missing a "W" so it only got a 69.

Kudbegud · April 30, 2014 7:21AM

Swampboy, mine were also received by PCGS on the 14th, 9:40am....hope my grades come through today...or tomorrow...and do as well as yours. Still in OK status.

HATTRICK · April 30, 2014 12:59PM

TWO RAW PROOF GOLD SALES TONIGHT WERE $ 965 & $ 991.

Six current auctions with bids in the $ 900's already and several buy it now listings now in the $ 1,000 range.

I think we might see our first $ 1,000 raw gold sale tomorrow.

I'm amazed you didn't get at least one Gold PR70.

Latest pops(4/30/14) says 231 70's to 79 69's

Swampboy · April 30, 2014 4:37PM

<< I'm amazed you didn't get at least one Gold PR70. >>

Yeah, I saw that the odds were looking good for 70's Goldbully.

Kinda surprised I didn't get one but I'm still pleased to add the three coins to my collection and I have a few others to stash away for a rainy day.
I spent my whole war chest on these coins and the grading so now I have to start saving up all over again for the $10 Indian I've been searching for at local shows.

Jeffery · April 30, 2014 7:31PM

Wow, every time I look at that coin it just looks awesome

kimber45ACP · May 1, 2014 6:07AM

Looks like I'll need to enter the market if I decide I need a set of 70s….

% of 70's is much higher. Price per 70 isn't much lower.

Kudbegud · May 4, 2014 7:35AM

pagewright: Are yours just standard flag FS labels or quarterly special labels? Others received at PCGS on the 14th have been returned graded. I suspect my requesting the quarterly special label is the cause of my 4/14 order delay.

pf70collector · May 4, 2014 8:40AM

Looks like the door is closing on the PF 70s.

pagewright · May 4, 2014 10:27AM

Mine were quarterly specials.

Goldbully · May 9, 2014 3:53AM

2 out of 5.....Oh well, it could have been worse.......I could still be waiting for my HOF's from the Mint.
This is one time where a 69FS still commands good money.
Good luck to everyone "playing ball."

I don't understand the price structure of the first strike quarterly special.

It states $39 per First Strike Coin, but without the Quarterly Special price its modern at $16 and First Strike at $18 which makes $34 which is cheaper than the Quarterly Special. Is PCGS getting rid of the $8 handling fee. I don't see what is "special" about the quarterly special other than the label has baseballs behind it? Also did PCGS charge you to return the mint boxes?
